[XBOX] The Functionality of Protector's Camaraderie? What Insignia Bonuses do you run for your Build

loverideloveride Member Posts: 19 Arc User
I play a Trapper Playstyle because I'm hard headed and refuse to move into the Combat Paragon. I just find Trapper to be more fast paced and the waves of encounters is a great experience for me. But I've noticed Mount Insignia Bonus are a major role in a character build now. One bonus I found to be the most interesting is the Protector's Camaraderie.

The Description states that players receive 3% of their DEF and POW every time their companion attack, with the ability for it to stack up to 4 times
Some builds I have come across have used multiple mounts with this insignia bonus and I am having a hard time understanding the proc on this.

When a companion attacks you get 3% (when you have 1 mount with this bonus), That is a definite. But does the stackking occur when the companion attacks again? So with 1 mount with Protector's Camaraderie if my companion attacks 4 times should I receive the 12% damage buff?
OR
Do I have to have 4 separate Mounts with the insignia bonus to gain the 12% damage?
OR (again)
Can I have 4 separate mounts with the insignia bonus and each seperately will buff me 12 after my companion attacks (reaching an extreme 48% Power and Defense buff)


Side Question: What are the Insignia Bonuses you are running?

Here are mine:



EDIT: I actually replaced my Cavalries Warning with Protector Camaraderie on a Medium Black Horse mount.

    after 1st Prot Com it has huge diminishing returns I think it was 1/2% of bonus per insignia after 1st but cant remember what it was so I dumped it it does stack on each attack and last for 10 second so some companions can keep it around 6to 9 %

    Nice to know that it brings the concept of fast attacking companions. Sadly the Mercenary doesn't actually proc the buff. I currently use the Fire Archon. I cant seem to tell when the bonus procs or not though,

    Magistrates consideration (act says + 10% damage on an average cn run), guile, prot. cam., shepherds, assassin's.

    Shadow demon pet.

    Multiple bonuses stack at 0.25, i.e.. 5 mounts equals a double bonus.

    Easy way to test... Hit a training dummy once and let your Companion hit it with no Rising or Sudden Rings equipped, observe and watch your stats screen... Whilst he is hitting the dummy equip Protectors bonuses and switch back to your stats screen within a second or 2.

    You can then observe your Power and Defence getting buffed 4 times.

    This is how you can find out which Companions work and which do not :)
